You are stil missing the point of this test, the end result we expect is
different for stat() and lstat(). The point I'm trying to make is that
we should:

1. Make sure that as many attributes are diffent for the symlink and the
   symlink target for *both* stat() and lstat() tests, since if they are
   not made different the test does results are not conclusive at all

2. For stat() you should get same result on the file and symlink since
   stat actually follows the symlink then gets the data

3. For lstat() you should get different result on the file and symlink
   since lstat() *does not* follow the symlink before it gets the data
